Well. With Koc calling the plays, we’ll at least have the same system for as long as he’s the coach.
Yeah, and ten bucks says we bring in one of the Rams backup QBs.
I like his experience as a player as well. I know some people were freaking out about lack of experience. His experience is varied and with some pretty amazing coaches. He is super motivated and said he was literally going upstairs to work after the presser. There has been more than enough doom and gloom with the whole Harbaugh leverage play. And then the talking heads started shit with McVay supposedly retiring. I am just going to enjoy the ride and see what happens.

Not sure if it was a bit or not, but heard on KFan yesterday that the Vikings were after Ryan Fitzpatrick. I didn't get to keep listening though to see if it was legit.
Against the Rams on Dec. 26, Barr had 2 interceptions and six tackles - his best game of the 2021 season. Barr's comments in Week 18 made it seem like he was headed towards UFA, but the way O'Connell talked about him yesterday sounds like the team could want to keep him around.

I just watched the whole thing cause I really dont know the guy from Adam...Not that an intro presser will do it, but it was good to hear directly from him.
I thought he came across as bright, sincere, earnest, principled. I kept looking for the grumpy football coach, its gotta be in there somewhere.
We'll see how he handles adversity, executes against a vision etc.
All the change out there is a little mind-boggling right now.
My wife watched the presser with me after I got home from work and shoveled snow. So, it was a bit late in the evening.
She mentioned the fact that he didn’t look angry all the time like Zimmer did, even after a win.
One of the things that always bothered me about Zim was he didn’t show a lot of positive emotions. Sure there was the brief smile or the post game locker room speech that was ok, or somewhat uplifting. But, he always seemed gruff, even after a win.
In the business world, the places I’ve always liked working at were when we celebrated our success. A win is a win, even if it’s a fluke bounce off the helmet reception for a TD that wins the game after you’ve played like shit all day. Celebrate that in the moment, and move on o getting better.
I think that was missing during Zim’s entire career in Minnesota. Not that he didn’t celebrate some, but you need to make players know they did well.

So describing your MVP candidate QB as having a horse shoe up his ass probably wasn't "celebrating" someone's success?

I figured the press would latch on to that.
My $ is on that comment was lack of deep familiarity vs a sign Barr will be with the team next year.

Yeah that pissed me off. I mean would it kill you to praise a quarterback?
Hopefully doing things similar to LA's offense is drafting Alec Pierce in the third and turning him into Cooper Kupp

Theres no way he didnt know the likleyhood of Barr on or off the team was. Maybe contract negotiation change but based off yesterday, I expect Barr back.
